[@edwardcase6594]

Could watch this all day 😊

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Beautiful cars no doubt! 👊

[@auteurfiddler8706]

I had a similar 72 Road Runner and the hood mounted turn indicators were on the hood but a Satellite had fender mounted turn indicators.

[@richarddevoe5871]

I have a white 71 w/ a 383 and a 4-speed. Always thought the front end was the coolest design. Nice RR’s !👍🏼

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Oh wow white, now I don't recall seeing one before. Nice! 👌👊

[@christophermitchum6829]

Da beep don't sleep 😎💪🇺🇸

[@Racingpappy101]

Awesome pair of road runners.. I had the reverse of the same 2 cars back in early 80s. Mine was a orange 71 383 4 speed, And I gave my better half a Yellow 72 with the factory 400/727. Brought back good memories if mine. 👍👍👍

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Too Cool! 👊

[@maceurbi2842]

Best looking Road Runners in my opinion

[@stephenschumacher2696]

I've had 71'thru 74's I use to hunt them 😊when I was kid I'd ride my bigwheel past Mr. Norms Grand Spaulding Dodge when I was a kid my Ole man worked there, good times😊

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Wow you no doubt seen some awesome cars at Mr. Norm's!👍

[@tonywestvirginia]

The beauty and music! (of the engine that is)

[@kirkschmidt1110]

Ice cars you guys.i had a 67 and 68 dodge coronet both with 440. S.67 was a max wedge 68 hp 440 cam higher then stock both fun to drive.love my mopars

[@thomassicard3733]

I want a purple '72 with a 426 Hemi... Yeah. I likey.

[@RacingCrashesFunAndMore]

Stunning

[@cudathehawgjetfixer7520]

My first car was an 1971 383 4bbl Road Runner, Forrest Green & White, with an Air Grabber Hood with White Strobe Stripes on the rear pillar! Fun car got into slot of fun with it, sold it to buy an 1973 340 Barracuda, way back in 1982!

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Nice! 👊

[@bigredc222]

Beautiful cars. I had a 73 and a 74, but in recent years I've started to like the 71s and 72s better. Good video. Thank you.

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Glad you enjoyed it! 👍👊

[@79tazman]

I love the looks of the 72 with that rear bumper and taillights and the Grille the 72 has always been my favorite year of the two

[@akdoc2003]

I'll trade you that pedal assembly out of your yellow 71 for the one in my '72. It's an automatic that I'm converting to 4-speed and I could sure use that manual pedal assembly that you aren't using. Both cars are AMAZING!!!!

[@stevemcdonald2722]

Some day I’ll restore it! Still have the numbers matching drivetrain tucked away!!

[@douglascooper1987]

​@@stevemcdonald2722 Low 11s is Impressive for a Heavy Car.👍👍

[@jamesteal8253]

Grew up with a ‘71… still in love…

[@marktheaardvark7208]

I had a 72 roadrunner, 440, 4 barrel, auto, loved that car, Got me in lots of trouble, In 3 months I got 5 speeding tickets and a careless driving ticket ( doing doughnuts in the middle of the highway ) 😬 Would have lost my license except the tickets were in 3 different states, Back when states didn’t share data.

[@thomassicard3733]

My first car was a '74 Roadrunner with a 318. Same hood as a 440 Magnum... Dudes would rev up next to me, I'd rev up with my 'thrush' mufflers, give 'em the thumbs-up, the light would change... They'd leave me in the dust, because I would never even accelerate!!! LMAO!!!!!

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

The good ole days right!

[@jeffreythomas2787]

That's one hell of a leaf blower,love my MOPArS 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤🎉🎉 f j b 😊😅

[@douglascooper1987]

My 1st Mopar was a Red and Rust 72 Satellite, 400hp/4spd. I've had 4 of that body style all total, and I don't think anything Looks Better, just Slick as grease. Nice Beepers 👍👍💯

[@billysbikesbrews7183]

I’ve had 2 1971 Runners boy do I miss them 🥴

[@ludedude5228]

The 72 grill on the RR is so much cooler then the 71 , tail lights too . But those cheap bolt on marker lamps were certainly a cost cutting factor compared to the 71's tri style marker lamps " But both still the best looking birds of all the years "

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Good eye! 👍

[@rogerbouchard7135]

I had a 1970 Roadrunner with a 383 and 4 Speed with a Hurst Pistol Grip. Loved that car. Of course I had to fix the second gear syncros a couple of times. Top speed 80 at 5000 RPM. You could see the gas gauge actually moving. 😢😂

[@rhino6285]

4.30 gear ratio vs 3.55 ? It's a no brainer who is going to win

[@jirinohavica7024]

Prfct Muscle cars..⚒️💪👌 Good Luck From Czech crew 🏁🤜🤛

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Awesome thanks!

[@rebeccajohnson1407]

nice when i was a kid i had a 71 R. R. it was a brown paint. put it was a 440 six pack 4 speed Dana 410 gears i put 915 heads on it crane cam headers it would stay with 340 darts ? But i would get them at the end most of the time

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Nice! 👊

[@thomassicard3733]

BEEP-BEEP!!!!

[@dankerr1145]

I had a 72 with a Pontiac c 400 and air grabber hood scoop that opened or closed using vacuum from the engine

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Nice!👍

[@SSK-27]

No surprise on the outcome here, 4:30 is a lot of gear plus a stroked motor. I had a 72 RR with a 340. Really miss that car.

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Nice! 👊

[@briancoates3955]

Mopar #1 I had a 72 Satellite sebring that could of passed as a Richard Petty car.

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Always liked the second gen roadrunners for sum reason myself.

[@mckessa17]

I had a forest green 72 back on the late 70s

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Nice!👍

[@BrayneBrown]

Ford guy, but I've always loved that body style Roadrunner. Red one needs to gear up and get a posi axle.

[@UseYourIllusions78]

MEEP MEEP

[@pauledwards1157]

Pretty impressive 383!

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Not bad right! 👍

[@VictorFols-i7x]

My dream machine ❤

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

💯👊

[@dbmartin60]

A very long time ago I had A orange 71 Satellite,Somebody put A 383 and a 4 speed in it ,I got from my friend i traded stereo setup for it,I had it A while the traded it to another friend for A bunch Of model railroad stuff.Wis I still had it.

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Ouch yeah that sounds like a great car to have today

[@dbmartin60]

It was about 81 or 82 I think,It was originally a small block automatic car.The boy was near perfect and the only thing the interior needed was work around where the put the 4 speed in.

[@dbmartin60]

That should read the body was near pperfect.,I hate auto correct.

[@RSTI191]

The sound.. Yowza..

[@gregorypollack2199]

Well the 72 says it has a 440 magnum in it but the magnum is a dodge designation and it should be a super commando which is the Plymouth designation for that engine.

[@skinny1968]

We had a 72 satellite Sebring 318. I thought it was the coolest thing.

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Nice!👍

[@garyketo8419]

Not 1971 Or 1972 RR For Sure, They Still Had The Wrap Around Chrome Front Bumpers

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Well tell that to the owners. Im going off all the info they told me.

[@Nick-cs5yc]

Mopar🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@danielray508]

My uncle has a71 blue GTX

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Always loved GTX's! Back in the day friend had a blue one too with a white interior. 440 with a 4 speed car was a beast. 👍

[@trailbossx2]

Mopar rules,,,,and i was gonna say,,,the 440/6,,,,16s???,,,in the first pass,,,wtf¿¿¿¿,,,,redemption, on the 2nd,,,😎

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Yeah he restored it and first time down the track didn't want to wad it up

[@genesauter4755]

Those to birds can sing and fly.

[@davidwainwright8362]

For the Orange 72 you can't put drag radials in the water and not spin'm good enough getting smoke they'll never hook...did have the 1 good 12.50 pass thou

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Yeah it was his first time at the dragstrip. Practice Practice Practice right 👍

[@martinliehs2513]

The red one is gorgeous, but the 1/4 mile times are not very consistent. The yellow one is clearly set up for the drag strip, and not as clean as the red one. The two quarter mile runs shown are nearly identical, however.

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

First time out for the red one and yeah the yellow one is set up to drag race.

[@UseYourIllusions78]

72s if came with strip

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

All information came from the owners. 👍

[@John-zd4le]

Could of seen more of the cars if they'd of left them on the trailer.Nobody has enough balls for an original four speed!?

[@stevemcdonald2722]

If you’re referring to the yellow one I drove and bracket raced it for several years with the original 3 spd manual then a 4 spd but it was killing parts! I did very well racing it 3 rearends 2 driveshafts and the windshield started to separate I decided to go with the automatic! Saving a numbers matching car I’ve owned for over 30 years!

[@MultiVeliz-p5z]

Soy el like 666 😄 , belleza de máquinas 👏👏👏

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Que hermosos 🇺🇸 👊

[@sergeantmasson3669]

NOT all that rare. MOPAR produced near 200,000 of them.

[@garybishop4030]

Not of these

[@d0gu67]

14,218 in '71. About half that in '72.

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

If their not why don't you see many?

[@omcara1]

Impressive numbers... But should have left them bone stock and original. Oh well, these boomer geezers and their mid-life crisis cars. 😆

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

The yellow one has been raced for years not like it was recently built.

[@johndowney4461]

My son is building a 71 Satellite as seen on Mullet Break Motorsports on utube

[@RACEYOURRIDE]

Nice! 👊
